The President has offered ton dollars In
gold for a set OF triplets to be exhibited at
tho Buffalo Fair. The published account
adds that Eric county has achieved no
fame in the triplet line. This TACT was
known 10 Mr.. Cleveland, who doubtless
feels in little danger Of having to come
down with bis gold dust. Then, too, OBJ.
nerve that he only now comes to the front
offering tho bounty, aud the Fair Is 80
near 1T hand. 1t patron desired to en-
courage any particular industry he would
hardly take snap judgment on 1t, as Mr..
Cleveland certainly has done in this mat
ter. t& e
II the President meant business why
didn't he offer that prize at the West Viz
GINA State Fair2 He profesaes to have q
special iondness Tor West Virginia, and II
he knows anything about this growing
mountain State he must be aware that
triplets form no uncomfortable part Of our
annual yield Of the good things OF lie,
II he did not know this Commissioner
Miller was at his right hand to advise
him.
We have no desire to oend the Preai-
dent out Of tho White House pennilesa,
but II he has more OF those ten dollar gold
pieces and will give us a fair show for
them, West Virginia will enter tho lists
against any and sil ccmors on the basis Of
population, aud We should rather expect
to sec things hum in these parts. II no be
q real seiormer, DESTROYS to see his coun-
try in thepath Of true greatness, he will
extend the competition in this direction.

A View Of Vice From tho Pulpit.

I, A young Presbyterian clergyman OF
Pittsburgh has been making tour OF the
brothels OF that city to gather material
for series oil practical sermons. He took
with him an elder Of his church, and an
officer OF the police department acted as
pilot. He saw the unhappy inmates Of
those dens Of despair. and Last Sunday he
gave the first Of his sermons on this
almost forbidden topic.
Young Mr.. knhne. .said he expected to
DO hsrahly criticised for the round he had
made and the eernons he YES going to
/ preach. 1t is well tina. he knows what is
baiore him, for he will be drubbed by
men 9th ecloth aud by laymen for defling
.hisslf and his sacred calling by entering
those hsunts Of sin. Thoee who approve
will not be- 80 courageous and therefore
! notso loud as those who disapproYe. twill
not bs gravely suspected that there is
something wrong with preacher who
can bring himself to such associations
even Tor tho purpose no had in view. It
is supposed that the world knows enough
about tEoSs places. !.

80 many preachers do not reach thu heart
OF tho world is tina. they are SO little in

congregations know they are cropping in

Is nothing more striking than his majesty's
mild and severe look at one and the same
time 1t is curious in this connection that

his ease, he should lie observed with his child
ren in the grounds of Gatschina, where he is
much more at home than in st. Petersburg.
His physical strength, it is said, fully accords
with his enormous size of body and limb, and
one often hears it said that he can easily
hreak an ordinary horseshoe with bare hands.
